Awesome, I will watch this.

Video was interesting, Reminds me of Rainbow 6 and how they made that game amazing and highly played to this day, after a terrible launch.

Now I am wondering if the latest call of duty was fully done on dedicated servers or not. They did a lot of hybrid Dedi and p2p connection in the past and it made the game pretty annoying since it is such a twitchy game based on who gets the first shot off.

Every Steam title is a snoozefest for me right now. Might just buy that Switch I've been putting off.

i hope this is the right thread to leave this here, if somebody is interested in a 2k dynasty league.

the United Ballers League (UBL) is an online league for 2k18 (PC). we will switch every year to the new version of 2k. we are originally a german speaking community, but everybody is welcome to join us. with google translator add-on, you can translate german posts real quick and easy.

the UBL is different to other online leagues. we use our homepage to operate FA-signings, trade with other real people via steam and we do our own draft for every rookie-class. we are in our 26th season and the league exists since over 10 years. right now, the Orlando Magic are currently one of 5 franchises, that needs a new GM.

if you are interested, feel free to join us at: https://forum.ballerz.net/

you can see the current rosters here: https://www.united-ballers.com/?site=teamoverview

rules: https://forum.ballerz.net/index.php?thread/4853-teammanagement-regeln/

if you have questions about this league, contact me via steam: "Embeast" (https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198160006029)

Agreed. Easily worth it.

I had a Switch for some months. Zelda Breath of the Wild, Mario Odyssey and Mario Kart 8 are awesome. And Splatoon 2 is fun, a different kind of shooter.

I never enjoyed any Zelda before, always thought of them as "meh, not interested". But this one made me buy the console and I did not regret doing it. Took me 95 hours to finish and it was 95 hours well spent, what an amazing game.

The only problem with me is that I get tired (weary, don't know the correct word in english) of Nintendo consoles. Since consoles and games are so expensive in my country, specially Nintendo games (they are so overpriced here) I sold it to make money to buy a PS4 Pro. I'm always gaming on PC + 1 console, and after I think there is not much replay value on the console I currently own I sell it to buy another.

Maybe in the future I will buy another Switch because of Smash Bros, which is a game that I enjoy playing.

Wal-Mart is also offering a pretty good deal on the Switch as well right now with the console and one game of your choice out of the four they have selected for $329 with two day free shipping:

This deal is also excellent for the Switch but it is part of Prime Day so it will not last for long...

Was thinking about buying A Way Out and playing it with my Brother. Was excited about it when they announced it awhile ago but never got around to buying it.

Has anyone here played it yet?

Hey, any opinions or recommendations on Fortnite? My game of choice is COD, but heard this game is much better, any thoughts?

Hard to say if whether it's better or not, depends on personal taste. Battle royale is a different concept of games such as CoD or Battlefield. If you enjoy it you may get addicted to it.

Anyway, talking about battle royale games, for me PUBG is a lot better than Fortnite because it looks more realistic and mature. Fortnite for me looks kinda childish and those structures that you can build are totally nonsense for me. But that's my personal taste.

I used to look gameplay videos on Youtube and couldn't find interesting at all. But then a friend gave me as a gift on Steam and I started playing with him. It was really fun, and I even made some Steam money selling the lootboxes the game gives it to you. Eventually I paid him back :lol:

But if you game only on PS4 there is no PUBG, it's only available on Steam and for Xbox One.

Does your bro live elsewhere/have a separate account? I ask because I looked into this game but it is unfortunately not a couch co-op (meaning the multiplayer function is online, so it’s not the traditional “2 player” game most of us have grown accustomed to.

Absolutely 100% hate the “building” aspect of it. I grew up playing Counter Strike, COD, etc...Fortnite is a really cool game with neat graphics and a great concept...that has been made unplayable by the building aspect and it’s importance/frequency (and essentially, requirement) of use. Just go watch a video of the top players and you’ll see what I mean...it’s absurd.

Yep, I'm a ps4 guy. Disappointed to hear about the build aspect being poor. I love the fallout series because of it. Fortnite looked cartoonish, but still nice graphics. I thought I'd give it a try. Thanks.

Yeah, but it's personal taste, it's just my opinion that the building part isn't interesting. You might enjoy building stuff, who knows. I like to focus on looting, shooting and the adrenaline of surviving, I don't want any building.

Give it a try, you have nothing to lose.

It's free, so couldn't hurt to try it. I played it a couple of times and think it's fun. Just have so many other games I'd rather play, like Rainbow Six Siege for example. But you could just download it and try it out, and if you don't like it, you can just delete it.

Yeah, my Brother and I have seperate accounts and both have PS+. I wouldn't want to do it couch co-op personally as I like the fact that my Brother could be doing something I have no idea about somewhere else while I'm in the middle of a cutscene. Just wanted to know if people generally liked it as I haven't heard anything about it since they announced the release date.

I have the game and it got very good reviews on IGN. Have not played it as I can never line up my schedule with other friends due to working the night shift. The thing that I like about this title is that only one person needs to buy it. You can share the game with the person that you are going to play with as they only need to download it to their system once invited to play.

If you have the Best Buy GCU (Gamer's Club) still, the discount will stack (the savings will show when checking out).
